Comparison of strain and shear wave elastography for qualitative and quantitative assessment of breast masses in the same population

Abstract We investigated addition of strain and shear wave elastography to conventional ultrasonography for the qualitative and quantitative assessment of breast masses; cut-off points were determined for strain ratio, elasticity ratio, and visual score for differentiating between benign and maligna...
